Arsene Wenger revealed that Arsenal were planning to offer Wilshere a new deal in December, with the midfielder’s current contract only having another two seasons left to run.

However, the England international said he just wanted to focus on getting back to his best.

When asked about Wenger’s comments, Wilshere replied: “I don’t really want to talk about that at the moment.

“I’ve come here and I just want to get as many games as possible. I’m a Bournemouth player now in my head. I want to help Bournemouth get as high up the league and possible and also for myself I want to play 25 or 30 games this year. So I’m not really thinking about contracts or anything.

“I’m taking each game as it comes and working hard at training and in the gym to give myself the best opportunity I can at the weekend.”
